1st WIN OF 2007



It was the Fresno LOU Night Race! It was super cold! Broke a spoke with 2 laps to go, did a on the fly bike change! The sprinted up the steep hill with about 30 seconds left in the race and bombed the DH and that was enough of a gap for the win! I was stoked and JP Sickler handed me 120$ at the podium for the win! My fingers were so frozen! I really liked the course and it was worth the pain ad suffering in the freezing cold. Then I lagged at the start on day 2 of racing and never felt good in Watsonville. I got bogged down by 2 riders who I should have been ahead of, and that was that! Either I race full blown and charging the front, or I take a chance to have issues and not do well.

The weeks totals were about 200 miles in 15 hours. It was a good training week and I need to stay consistent with my riding output. But I was really sore after 2 days of back to back racing, so I needed a little rest during next week.

That was win # 282 for my own personal record.
